Gurunathar’s Divine Message Moolam Pooja 26-08-2012
I would like to speak to some youngsters whose thinking with regards to their spiritual growth is confused. On looking for the underlying reason, I found their spiritual foundation to be weak.
First you must realize that God is not outside you – He is not external.
Next, you must feel His presence inside you.
Thirdly, you must realize that He never leaves you.
Fourth, you must realize He is beyond all needs.
We pray to God with love. This love grows into worshipful devotion. This in turn grows into a flood that engulfs us. I would say you can now see God. Basically the rule is to stop looking for him outside you. You are never separate from Him. He never leaves you. At the same time you have not realized He is inside you. Reflect on this – ponder on it from time to time. This is my request. We give Him forms since we are unable to conceive Him as formless and thus create a distance between Him and us. We start wrongly feeling that we exist separately. The truth is we suffer all the more because we increase the distance between Him and us. If you want to avoid this, please in your daily prayers include the phrase, “Enrum Yenakkul Irukkum Iraiva” or “God who is always within me”.
It is my belief that this will become the truth which you in turn will realize. You must never say “I could not see God – my whole day of meditation was wasted! ‘You see all along you meditated on a God who was outside you not One who was inside you! Keep your heart pure – go inward – think God is where your heart is. Touch His feet worshipfully and do your ‘pada namaskar’. I would say this will suffice. You do not need to give Him a form when you do this – you should see him in the form of light. If you do this, without fail you shall enjoy God’s grace, I bless you!
